Answer:

The statements which are correct are:

-85% of the U.S. corn is GMO; modified to be resistant to herbicides.

-Technology now allows us to transfer genes between organisms of different species and even kingdoms.

- Extensive testing has been conducted on GMO-foods to ensure that there will be no adverse allergic reactions or health risks.

Explanation:

GM foods can be described as the food which is genetically modified. In simpler terms, food prepared by the introduction of a foreign gene is termed as genetically modified food.

About 92 percent of the corn produced in the U.S is genetically modified and out of it about 85 percent is genetically modified to be resistant against herbicides.

The use of GM foods was made legal after passing through various tests in the laboratory and being approved by the FDA. Up till now, any food prepared by this method is properly tested and approved By FDA before introducing it into the market.

A) The financial costs for the farmer would be lowered.

B) Federal agencies could initiate legal action against the farmer.

C) The farmer may be held responsible for increasing chemical pollution.

D) The farmer's expenses for pest control would increase due to an increase in bee population.

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering or modification is a process whereby the genome of an organism is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable trait in the organism. In this question, a farmer uses an approved genetically engineered corn plant, which produces pollen that can make its own toxins to repel pests.

Using this genetically modified corn plant means that the farmer no longer require the application of chemical pesticide to control the pests affecting his corn plant. The impact on the farmer of growing such a variety of corn is that the financial costs for the farmer would be lowered since he won't have to purchase chemical pesticides any longer.
